Receive your Breakthrough “Now”

“The ruler of the synagogue, being indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the multitude, “There are six days in which men ought to work. Therefore come on those days and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day!” Therefore the Lord answered him, “You hypocrites! Doesn’t each one of you free his ox or his donkey from the stall on the Sabbath, and lead him away to water? Ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan had bound eighteen long years, be freed from this bondage on the Sabbath day?” As he said these things, all his adversaries were disappointed, and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.” (Luke‬ ‭13:14-17‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Many of us are already experts at meditating which is simply letting something run through your mind again and again.

When you spend time obsessing over something you’re fearful or worried about, it’s funny how that small thing quickly seems to grow in magnitude.

One moment of worrying about a new bill that came in can lead to successive worries about other unpaid bills, which leads to thoughts about your family being thrown out on the streets when you can’t pay all the bills.
The mental downward spiral is like a bottomless pit—it keeps getting worse without any end in sight.

The problem is that your worrying doesn’t do any good. Many times, that worry is unfounded and irrational—things won’t really become so bad.

Instead of constantly living in worry about the future, why don’t you treasure what you already have, which is the “now”.

From studying the Bible, I have learnt that faith deals with the “now” because God has already approved you to receive every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
Because you’re in Christ, every one of God’s blessings and promises is yes and amen for you.

This means that God always wants you to receive your breakthrough now, at this present moment, if you can have faith for it.
God is not limiting you—you are holding yourself back.

A ‘maybe yes, maybe no’ type of belief is not faith.
Many times when we say that “What’s ours will be ours eventually,” we’re still in unbelief and being passive about our faith.
We need to be certain in the belief that God is urgent about us having our breakthrough by faith, now.

Meditate on God’s word and let it fill you with a sense of how urgently God wants you to receive your breakthrough now.

In the passage above, we see Jesus trying to convince the ruler of the synagogue and the other religious folks there, explaining why the woman needed to be healed now.

Many of us have the false religious belief that we need to convince God why He should bless us, but actually He is trying to convince you why you should receive all His blessings right now! If only you could believe—you can have it all!

Like the infirm woman, perhaps you have been waiting so long for things to change, and maybe you’ve already given up hope a few times, but the whole point is not to wait for some mysterious, indefinite time in the future.

God wants to bring you from unbelief into faith, and faith receives now.
Believe that God wants you to receive your breakthrough right now, confess that you receive what you need right now, and you’ll have it.
At the cross, Jesus already paid for you to have it, so stop trying to pay the price for it again!

In my new book “Messiah’s Miracles—The Power of Having Faith in Jesus Christ”, I expound on every one of Jesus’ 37 recorded miracles in the four gospels.

Each chapter is designed to ignite your faith and increase expectancy in your heart to receive miracles now.

I believe that as you see Jesus working miracles in the four gospels, unveiling God’s heart of love, goodness and mercy towards man, you will also receive faith to see miracles in every area of your life!
You will also be able to walk in the power of God when you expect to see the supernatural gifts in operation.

“Thank you, Milton for the anointed sharing of the 37 miracles of Jesus. Right from the 1st miracle, God dropped fresh revelations of His heart to me. It wasn't head knowledge that I experienced.

Praise Jesus for transforming my heart and bringing me closer to Him through Milton's sharing.”

“He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath day. Behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and she was bent over, and could in no way straighten herself up. When Jesus saw her, he called her, and said to her, “Woman, you are freed from your infirmity.” He laid his hands on her, and immediately she stood up straight, and glorified God. The ruler of the synagogue, being indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the multitude, “There are six days in which men ought to work. Therefore come on those days and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day!” Therefore the Lord answered him, “You hypocrites! Doesn’t each one of you free his ox or his donkey from the stall on the Sabbath, and lead him away to water? Ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan had bound eighteen long years, be freed from this bondage on the Sabbath day?” As he said these things, all his adversaries were disappointed, and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.” (Luke‬ ‭13:10-17‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Have you been bent over for a long time? Perhaps you’re bound by a lack, an addiction, or health problem?

You tried to serve Jesus but you can’t seem to measure up to earn your breakthrough—nothing seems to be changing.

The infirm woman couldn’t even look into Jesus’ face. She had no ability to serve Him or do things to earn His favor.

However she heard one sentence from Jesus, believed it and that led to her complete healing.

Every blessing under Grace is received through faith in Jesus.

This miracle happened on a Sabbath day—when man ceases from labors, Jesus goes to work doing healings.

Sometimes we mistakenly think that Jesus is reluctant to heal or bless us and that we have to pray hard or serve more to convince Him why we are deserving of His goodness.

However in this miracle, we see Jesus persuading the ruler of the synagogue why the infirm woman should be healed right now without any delay!

We’ve got it all wrong. God wants us to be healed now. To be blessed now. To be freed right now. We just need to receive it by faith—believe and confess it.

You Don’t Have to Convince God to Bless You—He Wants You Blessed Now!

“He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath day. Behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and she was bent over, and could in no way straighten herself up. When Jesus saw her, he called her, and said to her, “Woman, you are freed from your infirmity.” He laid his hands on her, and immediately she stood up straight, and glorified God. The ruler of the synagogue, being indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the multitude, “There are six days in which men ought to work. Therefore come on those days and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day!” Therefore the Lord answered him, “You hypocrites! Doesn’t each one of you free his ox or his donkey from the stall on the Sabbath, and lead him away to water? Ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan had bound eighteen long years, be freed from this bondage on the Sabbath day?” As he said these things, all his adversaries were disappointed, and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.” ‭‭(Luke‬ ‭13:10-17‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

On yet another Sabbath day of rest, Jesus was out proclaiming God’s word and setting the captives free.
When man rests in God, God is at work to deliver them from all oppression.

The woman was bowed down by a spirit of infirmity (weakness). A demon manifests its own traits in its host.
The infirm demon manifested in the woman by making her physically weak as well.

Eighteen years is significant because it’s a compound of adding three sets of six together.
God created man on the sixth day of creation.
666 is the number of the Beast (Antichrist) and represents man in his most depraved, carnal state—in absolute rejection of God.
This kind of wickedness is the work of the devil.

“Here is wisdom. He who has understanding, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. His number is six hundred sixty-six.” ‭‭(Revelation‬ ‭13:18‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Sometimes we are beaten down by Satan and his agents until we are bowed so low with no strength to even look into Jesus’ face.

After hearing Jesus’ teaching, I believe her heart was filled with faith.
As much as she wanted to, the woman couldn’t even look at Jesus properly to ask Him for help.

This didn’t stop God from healing her through Jesus. In this miracle, we see that faith is all we need to receive God’s blessings.

The woman was in no condition to provide perfect service towards Jesus, but having faith in her heart was all that she needed to receive her healing.

This miracle takes away all boasting in man’s performance and instead glorifies God’s goodness.

Religion reared its ugly head when the ruler of the synagogue condemned Jesus for healing on the Sabbath.
An amazing deliverance was just worked in his midst and all he could focus on was that Jesus worked healing on the Sabbath.

Legalism is cold-hearted because it obeys laws for the sake of obeying it, without considering what is God’s true heart for man.

“He said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.” ‭‭(Mark‬ ‭2:27‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Man was not made for the Sabbath—the Sabbath was made for man’s benefit. It’s a day of rest from labors which everyone needs.
It’s always been about man’s well-being.

Like Adam, our bodies are made of the dust of the ground, and farmers will know that soil has to be left to fallow (rest).
It will become infertile if it is constantly worked to produce crops.
Similarly, overworking without rest damages our body.

The ruler of the synagogue didn’t doubt that Jesus could heal the woman. He just didn’t want Jesus to heal her that day—in other words, “Come back another day to be healed.”

I’m so glad that Jesus didn’t say, “Oh sorry lady, I guess I can’t heal you today. Come back another day to be healed.”
He didn’t put off her deliverance as if it wasn’t urgent.

God’s heart is to heal you now—He wants you freed from the demonic oppression that has bound you.
As much as you hate that sickness, poverty, depression, addiction or whatever is keeping you bound, God hates it too because it is harming you—the one He loves.

If you have faith in Jesus, you can receive your healing right now.
If not, the delay is just the journey which God is taking you through to cast out unbelief and bring you to a place of unpolluted faith.
Unbelief is like a poison—one drop can make the entire well of water unusable.
The New Covenant of Grace is all about receiving God’s blessings through faith and not through earning it by performance.

Jesus saw through the ruler’s hypocrisy. Religious folks only obey the laws which suit their agenda, but when it contradicts their own fleshly interests, they find excuses to not adhere to the law.

Man can never be justified by his obedience to the Law. His attempts at doing so just stirs up his sinful flesh and brings out the worst of him.

Don’t be confused—Jesus is not like the religious leaders who are putting all kinds of obstacles in the way of your deliverance.
Jesus is the one trying to convince them that the time for your deliverance is now.

Religion says, “Yes God heals, but first you need to do these things and then God will be merciful to you and heal you.”

Instead, God says, “Yes I am willing and able to heal you. Just place your faith in what Jesus has done and you’ll receive your healing.”

Satan has made you suffer long enough. Today is the day of your deliverance and it is surely God’s will to free you now—receive your breakthrough by faith!

Today’s Spiritual Exercise:
What self-concocted excuses are you telling yourself to disqualify yourself from receiving the breakthrough you need? Change your mind about this because God has already qualified you to receive every blessing through faith in Jesus and His finished work at the cross!
